I'm sure I'm gonna cry for any Italian Olympic medal as usual...

 

and there are a lot of disciplines and events in my personal wish list of possible success...

 

but the answer to the original question is a no brainer: Rowing, men's Quadruple Sculls winning Gold in memoriam of Filippo Mondelli...

Volleyball, no doubts. Been waiting all my life.   I was 2 months old when we won the last one

OK, I'll name two right now, this could change a lot.

 

1  :USA Torrie Huske in W 100m Fly - She just scared the WR last Monday, she's a local girl for me, from Arlington, VA and there is a special thing for me about Arlington and the 100 Fly.  1956, the first time this event was in the Olympics, the gold medal was won by Shelley Mann from Arlington, VA, and whose story is very inspirational.  Torrie, btw, her  mother is from China, she emigrated to the USA in 19991.

 

2 :USA  Sakura Kokumai W Kata - she is a long-shot, sure, but it has been chronicled in the US how she has been subject to anti-Asian harassment, and it would just be wonderful to see her win.

1. Equestrian : very challenging one we have a very good team and individuals in Showjumping but not with the quality of winning medals, it's always a dream for me that Egypt could someday win an Olympic medal in this sport 

 

2. MP : this sport always makes me sad in Olympics so a sweet revenge would be real fun, in the last 3 Olympics we have some very good pentathletes but they always choked in this fucking lucky equestrian again we go to the Olympics with really high hopes of winning a medal if we don't win this time then I would really stop following this sport for real ?

 

3. Judo : the 2nd most annoying sport for me after Modern Pentathlon, Very high hopes in London and Rio but came up with nothing now we are actually nothing so can we have a sweet revenge with a very wide outsider chance let's see 

 

4. Shooting : one of the sports that I always wanted for a medal at, it really upseted me in Rio when we had 2 5 place finishers and even Amy was doing great in men's skeet but a very awful 4th series with 22 destroyed his chances it would be real fun if he can win a medal after all his historic achievements last 7 years he really deserve to shine also a medal in men's or mixed trap would be real real fun 

 

5. Handball : the most upsetting sport in Egyptian history we are always close of doing something big but we choke in the last Meters this team really deserved a medal in our home WCH, I can't describe how much I'll be happy if we can win a medal in handball but I really doubt it 

 

6. Men's Sabre : I feel in Egyptian history we don't have outsiders that win medals it's great when those who are favorites to win really win some a medal in individual or even team Sabre would be real real fun

 

7. Men's Greco Roman Wrestling -67 kg : Kesho winning a medal would be real fun in a very tough competition before Corona this guy was among the very best in this weight category but now he's not in shape sorter really challenging one here 

 

8. Men's Shotput : very much outsider chance from Mostafa Amro but if it happens i would be over Skies 

.

Any medal actually for Egypt is very fun because simply we don't win many ?

Eh we don't have many choice - basically our medal chances are only from badminton and weightlifting.


Personally I'd be happy if Mohammad Ahsan & Hendra Setiawan can get the gold in badminton.

 

Any medal outside from those two sports will be greatly appreciated.

I'm a big heptathlon and decathlon fan in athletics. So a medal in either of this would be fantastic, but realistically only Niklas Kaul has a chance, as Carolin Schäfer has problems after her Corona vaccination. If my avatar (Gesa Krause in the steeplechase) medals, it would be great as well.

-Fencing is the sport that excites and amuses me the most, each medal here will always remain unique.

- Péni István, Rifle. I believe he has the potential and medal in this sport has been missing since 2004

-Modern Pentahlon: a gold in this competition has a "mythological" charm to me. Maybe not one of frontline sports to watch, but one of the best stories to remember.

      This season? It's a pity that we couldn't try fight for him, especially considering our problems in the sprints.

      Lara Malsinier and Alex Insam are junior World Championship medalists from a few years ago. Maybe it was possible to provide them with private teams then and now they could even fight for a single podium from time to time? I mean especially women because there, for example: Canada or France can be in the top, so why not us? Now Rodlauer from Austria has joined the Italian team but for now there is a huge gap to the top and only Sieff and Lara Malsinier are jumping well. There was success in the Summer Grand Prix but with a weak competition. Even 3rd place in a single competition in winter is worth more than winning the LGP with a terrible squad.   It remains to wait but I fear that the most we can count on is a dramatic fight with France and maybe Finland in the mixed competition at the World Championships. Bresadola probably won't return this season, so only the inconsistent Insam remains.

      And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.

      Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.

      Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.

      Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan.

      There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
